      Hi everyone! I am moving at the end of August back to the east coast from Los Angeles, and would love to help drive someone’s car from west to east, as it would also really help me out too. I already made the drive out once from NY to LA back in January, but am now heading back and would love to find maybe even a larger sized vehicle to fit a bit of my stuff to make the move. Either the Philadelphia, Boston, or New York area is all good and works for me at the moment! Would love to connect and discuss further details at emrich@vassar.edu if this sounds like a good fit.

      Hi everyone,
      My friend and I are looking to drive cross-country at some point in August from east to west. We are located in the Boston area but are flexible in terms of where the pickup might be as well as the drop-off. Please email me if you are looking for drivers and think this could work. We are very flexible with the details!

    Hi all,

    I’m a postdoc at Berkeley lab that’s starting a new job in North Carolina beginning of August. I’m looking to drive cross country with my dad in the next couple weeks, so if anyone needs a car driven to the east coast let me know. Apologies in advance for the short notice.

    Thanks!

    Hello all!

    My name is Michael (he/him, 24 yrs), I’m relocating coast to coast (East to West) after landing my dream job, and I’m hoping to avoid huge rental car/moving company fees! I’m looking to hopefully drive someone’s vehicle from the NYC/Tri-State area to the Portland/Willamette Valley region in Oregon, (open to flexible pick-up/delivery locations). I’d be bringing my stuff with me, (single guy, no furniture , just some boxes, bags, and totes!), and I’d be have a partner to do it with me, (she could potentially pick up the vehicle if it is in the Boston or surrounding New England area), and I’d be going the 2nd week of August.

    -Clean driving record
    -4 years of long-distance driving experience
    -No bulk fee necessary just some negotiable expenses
    -References and NYSDOE background check filing available on request

    Please message me if I could help you out along these parameters: mkbentea@gmail.com
    Thank you!

    Hi!

    I am a 28 year old graduate student who is looking to drive across the country for the experience. I am available between August 8 and September 4th. I am very responsible and have some time before classes. I will pay for gas and not charge anything. I can go from the east coast to the west or vice versa. I simply do not want to pay to rent a car so hopefully this is a win-win for both of us!

    Greetings!
    My girlfriend and I are looking to drive from San Francisco to Boston(the greater New England area), and back. We’d love to use the drive away service to mutually help each other out! If anyone is looking for their car to be driven to or from those areas, we’d love to help. Feel free to message me for more details. Our one time limitation is that we’re hoping to get to Boston by the early July. Otherwise, the ride back to SF has no time limit. Also, to avoid lodging costs, we have no problem sleeping in the vehicle- given it has space in the back to lay down and not just reclined seats. Anyways, hope we can help and hope to hear from you soon!
    Cheers,
    Eric and Ashley

      It is a 21 hour drive from LA to DFW. I charge $10 an hour driving time based on Google maps so my driving cost is $210 plus expenses. Expenses are meals, motels, fuel, bus ticket to LA, return plane ticket back to San Diego, $60 for my wife to take me to the bus station and pick me up on my return to San Diego.
      I put meals at $40 per day x 3 days=$120 but you only pay what is on the receipts.
      Motels I put at $100+/- per night x 2 nights=$200+/-
      I put all expenses on my credit card with the exception of the plane ticket, I ask that you put it on your credit card.
      My cell is 619-993-6577, email mdougher4@cox.net.

    Hello all,
    Are you relocating???
    Do you need someone to drive your car, your moving truck?
    Do you need your car delivered to another state? How about your motorhome? Snowbird?
    Tired of driving long distances just to have your car?
    Wouldn’t it be nice to just show up and have your car with you while on vacation or extended winter stay?

    I am your guy for the job, not a loafer, a true gentleman and a safety conscious motivated individual.

    I have recently retired from my job of 30 years. I have been in the automotive business for my entire employment – since 1979 (42 years).

    I currently hold a class “A” CDL driver license. I do not drive tractor trailer combinations.
    Safe driver endorsement, no accidents, no tickets in over 45 years, non-drug user, no criminal record (something I am proud to say).

    Please contact me at: kevofla@yahoo.com

      Hi Brigid.
      My name is Mark Dougherty. I am a driver that is very interested in being the driver for you. I have been posting here on My Family Travels as well as Craigslist. I have been trying for years to drive to Rhode Island. I have always wanted to see Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. I was born in New York and lived in Pennsylvania. I now live in San Diego County. So this is a chance to check off an item on my bucket list.
      To start off I charge $10 an hour driving time base on Google maps it is a 46 hour drive from Santa Barbra to Rhode Island. My driving cost would be $460 plus expenses. Expenses are meals, motels, fuel, plane tickets, $60 for my wife to take me to the mode of transportation to get me to Santa Barbra and pick me up on my return, and $30 for a checked bag. There is Greyhound Bus from San Diego to Santa Barbra, it is a curbside drop off. The bus ticket cost is $19 based on buying today for the 4th August. It departs San Diego at 5:45 am arriving Santa Barbra at 12:05pm. A return trip from Rhode Island on Delta PVD to SAN departs Aug 9th 5:20 pm arrives San Diego 10:02 pm for $289.70 purchased today.
      I have been estimating prices at $70 for motels and that is no longer real. Motel 6 I stayed at the other night was $109. I will still try to find the cheapest motel but they are looking in the $100+ range.

      Wife’s driving $60
      My driving cost $460
      Bus ticket $19
      I put meals at $40 per day x 7 days=$420
      Motels 6 nights x$100+=$600+
      $30 for checked bag
      Fuel unknown cost as I do not know what your mpg is
      Plane ticket $289

      Total approximate cost
      $1,878

      Motels $80+/- per night=$400
